Drop on wax paper... foil sometimes adheres to the cookie... wax paper comes off every single time :)

I make these by the dozens at work. Always use a small scoop to portion & drop them on parchment paper. They never stick & I reuse the paper. Very popular recipe!

I have been making these for years. They are more like a peanut butter fudge than an actual cooking. Really satisfys a sweet tooth. I pour mine into a buttered square pan and then cut them in squares after they harden. Kids of all ages love these.

I also add a 1/2 to 1 tsp of vanilla to the recipe when the peanut butter is completely melted, not only does it make the kitchen smell fantastic but it gives the cookies a little bit of a warmer taste.

To make above recipe better, instead of using 1/2 cup milk, USE one small can Carnation evaporated milk. Also, add 12 large marshmallows to the sugar mixture and bring all to a boil slowly, boil for 5 minutes after it starts to boil and then take off stove before you add the peanut butter and quick oats. Also, before adding the oats and peanut butter, add 1 teaspoon vanilla. I think the submitter just forgot the vanilla.

Parchment or Wax paper work better.

I have made a variation for years....1 C buter, 6 C sugar, 12 T cocoa, 1/3 C milk, 2 t. vanilla and 2 C peanut butter....add the Quick Oats one cup at a time, stir to coat, between 5-6 C of oats....I use my small ice cream scoop to drop onto waxed paper. Cool, and store in a sealed container in the frig. They are requested by every single one of my 5 adult children and all of their friends!!

I add a handful of coconut and nuts, Great recipe

I tried this recipe for the first time today and instead of creamy peanut butter I used crunchy. My boyfriend loved them and so did I.

I have made these for years. We like them warm, my kids would take the cooled cookies and microwave them a few sec. My daughter ask me to make them without the cocoa and add a little more peanut butter. These are her favorite now.

Try Rice Krispies instead of Oatmeal! And a little corn syrup will add a nice sheen to them!! Omit the cocoa and add a few large marshmallows and you have a great peanut buttery variation of Rice Krispy treats.

Where I'm from we call these mud pies :) My favvy and easy to make!

Add coconut. We call recipe choclate macaroons. Very yummy

I also use this recipe,and omit the cocoa powder, add a bit of pure maple syrup and maple flavoring... great for sweet tooth, but not a chocolate lover. :)

I love these and they are so yummy and quick and easy. I added coconut and also used crunchy peanut butter. I also have made and drizzled caramel ice cream topping on top.
